With the new goverment subsidy available for sat phones it is now making them a cheaper safety aid then ever before, I am buying one to set up as prepaid and was wanting to hear your feedback on the best call pricing as there is just so many out there cheers Red Dog [Dave]

I pay a $1 a minute (prepaid) but dont care what it is really as if I need a sat phone, I really need a sat pnone. Dont use my for chit chat because the reason I am remote is to enjoy being away from technoligy including normal mobile phones. cheers blaze
hi red dog, I am not in the know and it is good to know you are onto it. just like a cattle dog. when you find out all about them can you post it for people like me who are a bit behind in technology. the gov. subsidy has me intrigued. will they go up in price or remain the same? rocket n strop

The Government subsidy has been available for many years. It is less than it used to be (and 'phones costless than they did).
Cheers, Peter
